214 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

214 East 88th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lori Hannan, located in the Upper East Side neighborhood. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases over the past seven years (2018-2025), and has consistently passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025.

The building underwent significant safety and maintenance oversight in 2019, receiving several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety signage requirements, including notifications for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, heating system contact information, and building registration details; however, all these violations were certified as closed by 2019. More recent concerns include a July 2023 indoor air quality complaint regarding ventilation, which resulted in a letter being sent to the property owner. The building has been the subject of three significant Department of Buildings complaints in recent years, including a 2020 complaint about building shaking (reportedly resulting in an Oath violation), and two 2021 complaints related to scaffolding safety and sidewalk shed requirements, though no violations were found during their respective investigations.

Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2021 regarding inadequate scaffolding and missing sidewalk shed information, with penalties resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt addressing of safety requirements, though the 2020-2021 period had some notable safety-related concerns that were subsequently resolved. A permit for work was issued in October 2020, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
